Chiropractic Examination
The spine is the bridge of communication between your brain and your body. In fact, everything that your body can do is governed by the brain. Inevitably, the bones in the spine will slightly misalign due to something as simple as sitting in a chair. These misalignments are called subluxations. The chiropractic adjustment will correct these subluxations, and remove any nervous system traffic jams that are causing pain and dysfunction in your body.
HEADACHES, BACK PAIN, DIZZINESS, DIFFICULTY BREATHING, BEDWETTING, CONSTIPATION, NUMBNESS, ETC, ETC...
When something abnormal is happening in your body, it's time for an adjustment by The Family Chiropractor!
New patients will be given a more detailed exam to find these subluxations, and also measure other vital signs and functions of the body.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Dr Ramos adjusts with a variety of techniques including Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson Drops, and Activator. Some are higher force and may result in some popping sounds, while others are lower force and don't produce popping sounds. These adjustments will take pressure off of your nervous system, allowing your brain and body to heal, and function as it was designed to.
Babies and Children: Many of the adjustments, especially for babies, are modified and extremely gentle. As a certified pediatric chiropractor, Dr Ramos has a lot of experience with these adjustments.
Babies and Children
The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and grows at its fastest pace within the first 2 years of life. Babies and kids don't have the same fully developed joint structures that adults do, but seem to fall and tumble more than adults. Subluxations in babies and kids can be present as...
COLIC, CONSTIPATION, DIFFICULTY LATCHING AND FEEDING, DIFFICUTLY SLEEPING, FAILURE TO MEET DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES, DIFFICULTY FOCUSING IN SCHOOL, HYPERACTIVITY, ETC.
Dr Ramos loves it when parents report improvement in all of these areas. It helps us know that your child's nervous system is in optimal condition, and sets them up for optimal growth and development through adolescence and adulthood.
Birth is a traumatic event for babies that almost guarantees subluxations. For this reason, it is recommended that all babies be checked for subluxations and adjusted as soon as you are ready.
Pregnancy
Chiropractic care can even benefit your baby before birth! Your baby develops inside of the uterus, and the uterus is directly affected by misalignments, or subluxations, of the sacral and pelvic bones. Dr Ramos is certified in the WEBSTER TECHNIQUE, which balances out the skeletal and muscular components surrounding the baby during pregnancy, and also relieves pain for mom.
It is interesting to note that while chiropractors practice the Webster Technique, coincidentally, a high percentage of babies in a breeched (head up) position will move to a head down position. This is important in reducing complications during labor and delivery.
Decreased back pain during pregnancy
Decreased incidence of back labor during labor and delivery
Decreased need for interventions such as C-section births or forceps
Faster labor and delivery times
These are all reported by mothers who were under chiropractic care during pregnancy.
